MOOSIC, PA. - The Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are pleased to announce that Robert Shafer, the actor who portrayed Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration, and a Dundie Award will highlight their celebration of the fifth anniversary of "The Office" finale on Saturday, September 1, presented by Red Robin. The RailRiders, Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees, host the Pawtucket Red Sox in the final home game of the 2018 regular season with gates at 5 p.m. and a first pitch set for 6:35.

The September 1 game will also serve as the club's Stand Up To Cancer Night, helping raise funds and awareness for cancer research. As it did during the 2017 Triple-A National Championship Game, play will halt for a moment during the game as fans and players alike stop to hold placards indicating who they stand up for in the fight against cancer. Ticket packages will be announced in the near future with portions of the proceeds benefiting Stand Up To Cancer.

The evening will begin with a pre-game fanfest outside of PNC Field. Join the RailRiders as they say "Goodbye, 2018" with live music, carnival games and special appearances.

When gates open, the first 2,500 fans will receive their own Dundie Award for being the Best fans in baseball. Throughout the course of the game, Dundies will be awarded to fans in attendance. Nominations will be accepted prior to the game with details being announced in the coming weeks.

Shafer (aka Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration) will throw out a first pitch and sign autographs during the game.

The final fireworks show of the season will follow the final out, presented by Maines Food and Party Warehouse.

Tickets for "The Office" Night or any remaining 2018 home game are available now online at swbrailriders.com or by calling (570) 969-BALL.
